Besides architecture. Cathedrals are dope. But everything else, yeah.
I don't hate some older religious music.
Religion was at the center of everything 500 years ago. It's gonna take credit for a lot of stuff because you could barely do anything art related without religious involvement.
And every now and then they'd go on a rampage destroying other people's and eras' art.
Still happening, even… such as the Taliban destroying ancient statues.
Don't forget about the part where the only way you could be somewhat literate was if you were indoctrinated into their little cult.
I do like the sense of harmony that comes from singing together, but yes you don't need a church for that.
If only they could live in that harmony
The Shining's opening theme was based on a medieval Christian hymn, day of wrath or Dies Irae. I love deep vocals and latin lyrics, it's so soothing.
Not all musicians believe in god but all believe in Bach.
Gregorian chants are epic
That first Enigma record is a regular in my listening because of exactly that.
But maybe stay out of rock?
I agree...except the Sagrada Familia which fills me with irrational anger. Looks like Poseidon walked on shore and squeezed out a sand turd. It's so goddamn hideous to me. If I was the god who Gaudi built it for, he would not make it into heaven. I hate it so much.
